French Riviera

If you are looking to experience both larger cosmopolitan areas, beaches and virtually unspoilt islands; you should consider the French Riviera as your next destination. You can visit Monte Carlo, Nice and Cannes or you could go a little further and escape it all to Port Cros, which is like a French version of a Caribbean port dotted with palm trees and a calm atmosphere.

This can be experienced from travelling along the coast of this great country and taking trips on to the shore.
